Give thanks to your favorite wh... um... provider.

Oh, I thought this was meant for just any 'ole whore, and I'm like, yay, there's a day dedicated to me! Lol. 

But kidding aside, to the providers and masseurs that are new to or have been longstanding members of the forum, thank you for all that you do - you do not only provide and satisfy biological and physical needs, but you also provide great advice, companionship, laughs, and everything in between.

I'd be remiss if I didnt wish my sister , and the biggest, OLDEST W*ore still alive, @stevenkesslar a Happy day....... your CUNTributions here have been immeasurable !

Perhaps we could start by not flippantly referring to them as whores. People who engage in various forms of sex work get enough crap as it is.

My bad. I just saw via Google that some people actually refer to today as International Whore’s Day. I had only heard it referred to as International Sex Workers Day (by people who support those in sex work in various ways). Again, my bad.

My dearest and most beloved and yet substantially younger and more graceful Sister In Cock:

I just love you.  I mean, I wish I could be you.  But you've been hearing that forever. 

Well, I've been saying it forever, I guess.   You're still fresh and nimble, especially in the throat.  What would I do if I didn't have you for my shining light?

Thank you for adding the grace and education that every ignorant whore needs.  And for at least trying to help me with my fashion challenges.  And gag reflex.

Yours forever, dear Sister

Years ago there was a thread on the forum where I mentioned the infamous French whore Arlety who slept with the Germans during the occupation in WWII. At her trial after the war she declared " I am French but my ass is international."

First let me say this.  It is not my intention to get this kicked to the politics forum.  It is simply to say that this past year has been a particularly challenging year to be an international whore.   If we put this in the "Ask An Escort" section, the answer would simply be, "No.  Don't do it."

A Quickie: How an International Prostitute Caused a Mass Outbreak of #COVID19 in Cambodia

Quote

On 7 February 2021, a private jet from Dubai landed at Phnom Penh international airport filled with 20 folks ready to party ....

By the time the authorities caught up with them, one of them had sero-converted. The others would after that. That one woman infected half of Phnom Penh! They were in nightclubs, restaurants, bars, malls, wet markets, coffee shops, apartments, all over the place. Dozens and dozens of places.

They shut everyone of them down. They shut the schools in Phnom Penh. They asked that anyone who was at one of those places from 7 – 20 February to self-quarantine. 

In the meantime, the outbreak keeps getting bigger because she had the highly contagious UK variant! She’s up to 740 some odd people infected because of her! One person. It is now covering about half the country from Sihanoukville to Siem Reap — the town where Angkor Wat is located. And, Cambodia suffered its first #COVID19 fatality. She killed somebody. Great.

Truth is, speaking as an international whore, our type get to have a lot of fun.  A wonderful client who sadly passed away recently took me to Siem Reap once.  RIP.

Maybe this year we should call it International Prudence Day.  Since us international whores get all the fortune and glory, it seems only fair that Prudence should get to shine once in a century or so.

This is actually meant as a tribute to so-called "Zero COVID" countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Singapore that have mostly managed to show a remarkable sense of restraint and community-mindedness.  And went with the flow on lockdowns and quarantines, thus preventing exactly the kind of situation above. 

Cambodia

It took until March 2021, over a year after the international pandemic got started, for Cambodia to have their first death.  Now they've had 230.

Personally, ala Randy Rainbow, I think the international whores of the world should unite to provide administration of COVID vaccine shots, as well as certain other personal services which could be offered as a reward.  Who else could possibly do a better job when it comes to saying, "Stick it in me."

I personally don't consider whore to be pejorative or derogatory. I suppose some people make it into that. I don't know though, I think there's been a reclamation of the word just like gay men have reclaimed faggot. Make a word lose it's power by embracing it.

This thread has sent me down a Google rabbit hole where I, too, have noticed the reclamation of “whore,” particularly among sex-positive, woman-identified sex work activists. Lesson learned: Inform myself before posting! I would, however, be curious to hear how the male masseurs and escorts we patronize feel about the word.

The only time I recall seeing the word to describe a provider in a Rentmen review was one that gave a five star rating. In the comments section the client sang the praises of the escort and said that he was a "whore" in the best sense of the word. It was interesting that the escort was French.

I love it.

For whatever reason, Bill had a bug up his butt about the word.  I never bothered to ask him why, mostly because I didn't particularly give a shit.  But I've always used the word as a statement of pride.

I've never thought much about whether other escorts use it a lot, or counted how many times it came up in conversations.  But I'm quite sure the word was used a lot in conversations I had, mostly in playful ways.  E.g.  "You are such a whore!"  One of my favorite lines was when I told a fellow escort/fuck buddy/workout partner that I'd stupidly backed my car into a guard rail and dented the fender, which would cost something like $200 to repair.  His response was, "Well, that's not very much in whore money."  We both just laughed.  He was correct.  It's not very much in whore money.

There's another aspect of it which I will try as hard as possible to say in a way that doesn't get this kicked to the politics section.  The sort of spirit of this thought is, "Can't we all just get along?"  For me, the word "whoring" reflects that kind of spirit.

Think about three phrases that get used a lot:  1) "He is a political whore."  2) "Politics makes strange bedfellows" 3) "Politics is the second oldest profession in the world."  All these phrases imply a relationship between prostitution and politics.  I'd say that fits very well with my lived experience.  My entire life before escorting was spent as a community organizer/political activist/low-income lobbyist.  Whatever the job title, I was always involved with elected officials at the national, or state, or local level.  So one of my lines when I became an escort is that after spending much of my life being a political whore, I decided to become a real whore.  As far as political whoring goes, to me that's a fantastic thing we actually need a lot more of right now.  Let's just find ways to make deals and get along.  I won't go into specifics because I don't want to make this about politics.  But good political whoring is being able to make good deals with good people to do good things, even though you happen to disagree about most things.

As far as actual whoring goes, it accomplishes the same thing.  I can't tell you how many conservatives I know and have known where in a real way I'm one of the few people on the planet who know who they really are.  As in what they really do in bed, which involves a member of the same sex, and what their sexual fantasies are.  So when you are whoring you can get along with anybody.  It's so much easier to get along when you just want to suck cock and make each other cum, isn't it? 

If there were more whoring in the world, meaning both political whoring and real whoring, it would be a much better place, I think.
